        <description><![CDATA[can only get so far with those tablets, and the lack of discipline will prevent them from getting much further than learning how to press keys and touch and swipe, to get at the material will they will prefer, which is games.  At that point, the tablet will have become a toy, and there won't be anybody to set them straight and to guide them into doing some actual learning of the material which matters.The tablet idea is just idealistic, and not practical.  It would be the equivalent of dropping an airplane in a village of savages, and hoping that they'll learn how to fly the silly thing on their own.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[... is no teacher.  Can you figure out how to get a teacher for these kids for $35?  That's the price of the One Laptop per Child machine that is being manufactured in India.  It may be that a human teacher could do a better job, but this technology is going to make it possible to reach millions and millions of people who would otherwise receive no education.  We have a billion illiterate people in this world, one tablet can teach a family.  And not just make them literate, but to open the world of information that is available on the web.  Will they get &quot;tired of them&quot;?  Do any of us get tired of our computers?  Come on....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes, a teacher would be a handy thing, but that requires a person to be present and willing and able, probably hard to find in Ethiopia... for free, anyhow. Give these kids an internet connection (probably not part of the experiment) and the world is their oyster. I gave up classical learning in college, because it doesn't work for somebody who wants to learn at a faster pace than what's available. Sure these kids will probably play more games than not, but eventually they will ask questions of things they're interested, the tablets could provide them with that. I learned EVERYTHING about my current career (videography / video editing) on the internet! (Not through courses, but through forums, tutorials, etc.) I get paid well to do what I do. The general public was my teacher, and can be theirs too! Teachers DEFINITELY have their place, but if Ethiopia was that place, they'd be there and this experiment wouldn't be necessary...]]></description>
